My nearly 14 year old female cat is showing signs of pancreatic insufficiency. She has lost half her body weight in the last year, she's always hungry and I feed her as often as I can, but she continues to lose weight. She also has horrible diarrhea, it has no form, is tan in color and very smelly. We've tried everything else and I going to call the vet in the morning about putting her on enzymes supplements, but I was wondering if anyone else has experience with this and could offer any advice.
She slowly started loosing weight at the beginning of last year. At first I thought this was good because she was overweight and had been on a diet for a while. She kept loosing and eventually stopped eating. I had her teeth done in the summer and she had 3 resorptive molars removed. They ran a CBC, chem panel and thyriod panel at the same time, everything came back normal. I hoped this would solve the problem, but it took a long time for her to recover. She eventually started eating again, but kept loosing weight and developed horrible diarrhea. We've tried her on antibiotics and now Sucralfate to try and stop it. The antibiotics made it worse and the Sucralfate helps a bit but not much.
Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions or advice? I've had this cat since she was about a month old, I need to help my baby.
